The article only mentions the supposed origin for copt (it seems to have been originally for a cat), however the older attestation for Misr in that text from the same region is ignored a Linear B tablet also has Misr in it. d mi-sa-ra-jo (Misraios, also
etymologically ‘man of Egypt’ [MiÒr] (KN F 841.4) (cf. SHELMERDINE 2008, §5.4.2.2, BENNET, J. 1985, The Structure of the Linear B Administration at Knossos, AJA 89, 231-49), not to mention it is likely older "(misr), more commonly found in Akkadian and Ugaritic documents from Syro-Palestine and Mesopotamia (Cline 1993: 18). Mis-sa-ra-jo appears on Knossos tablet KN F 841+867, possibly used as a man’s name, which Cline believes was meant to be
pronounced as Misraios (Cline 1994: 128).
And undounbtedly older still its attestation as Misr in Linear A (CH # 333, A1) (Best & Woudhuizen 1988: 50-51; most recently and comprehensively Achterberge.a. 2004: 104; Landau 1958: 270. Cf. Luwian hieroglyphic Mizra “Egypt” (Karkamis A6, § 4), see Woudhuizen 2015a: 280 and the composite personal name Mizramuwas) in the oldest dated Minoan Tablet.

Change The Capital From Cairo to New Administrative Capital , From Today Officially the New Administrative Capital is the capital of Egypt 41.233.136.2 (talk) 01:38, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. I have not found any announcement that the capital has now been shifted, not even old sources that project the capital to be shifted today. Liu1126 (talk) 12:28, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's likely to take a while for the NAC to finish being built. No need to update the capital until the seat of government truly moves. And even then, NAC is a suburb of Cairo and there will still be some government in central Cairo anyway.ItsRainingCatsAndDogsAndMen (talk) 14:43, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A closer look at the source might be needed. It says that Sudanese was the largest group by October 2023, but it doesn't say when the refugee numbers were counted. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 03:42, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
